Festival du film de Knowlton
Emerging or unverified festival
Founded in 2018, the Festival du film de Knowlton is a late-summer film festival in Lac-Brome, Quebec that emphasizes close contact between audiences and filmmakers through screenings, Q&As, masterclasses, and community events. It is notable for its carefully curated program of distinctive, underexposed films, including Quebec and Canadian auteur cinema as well as international titles that are often premieres or rarely screened in Quebec. The festival also has a competitive short film section with the Claire Léger Awards, helping give regional audiences access to films that are often under-distributed in larger markets.
